Life Writings in the Anthropocene

Jessica White

Life Writings in the Anthropocene /Edited by Jessica White and Gillian Whitlock - 1 - London: Routledge, 2021. - 278p.

Life Writing in the Anthropocene is a collection of timely and original approaches to the question of what constitutes a life, how that life is narrated, and what lives matter in autobiography studies in the Anthropocene. This era is characterised by the geoengineering impact of humans, which is shaping the planet’s biophysical systems through the combustion of fossil fuels, production of carbon, unprecedented population growth, and mass extinction. These developments threaten the rights of humans and other-than-humans to just and sustainable lives.
